KnowledgeBase 00065: MD5 Message Digest

The MD5 Message Digest algorithm constructs a 128 bit hash value that can
be used for non-reversable cryptography (e.g. passwords) or for data
integrity checks. MD5 is a widely used industry standard.

The MD5() Function

QM provides an MD5() function that takes a character string argument and
returns a 32 digit hexadecimal representation of the MD5 hash value. For
compatibility with common usage of MD5, the hexadecimal value uses lowercase
letters.
